I'm a wife and a mother of 4 children 9 and under. I've struggled with weight, be it 'for real' or in my own mind, since I was young. Working to be healthy and happy, and at the same time re-writing my own throughts about weight and its impact on my life... including the impact it really SHOULD have, which is far less than the impact it does have.

Me - 3 = HAPPY!

That is -3lbs. YES!

I guess I was right about those extra points last night, and I tried to enjoy that beer and not worry about what it would do to my morning. I am down three whole pounds! I weighed three times to be sure it was right.

That means I am only 2.2 lbs away from a MAJOR milestone - that thing they call ONEDERLAND. As in, I will never again be in the 200lb range. I pray, I pray, I pray. If and when we have baby number 4, I want to ensure that my start weight is low enough to prevent bumping 200lbs.

I hope I can behave just as well this week! It's going to be a very busy, very full week. Jimmie is turning five tomorrow (I am making ice cream sandwiches now) and then Friday morning we head to the lake for the weekend.

I bought myself a new pair of shorts (on sale at Ricki's) yesterday, for the lake. I got them a bit snug, so they should last until we're out of short season. My secret hope, of course, is that they won't.

Off to bake some beautiful big cookies - but none for me, thanks! Jim made me dark chocolate dipped marshmallows (2P) for a snack tonight. I'm happy I have a husband who knows his way around the kitchen...
